Title: Alice Enid Riches - Cardiff
Post by: emmajwakely on Wednesday 24 June 15 15:52 BST (UK)
Am looking for a death Certificate for Alice Enid G Riches
Born 1881 in Cardiff. She was married to a F Robathan but not sure of the date but around 1902. She had 4 children. Cant locate her in the 1911 census but may be due to the way spelling the married surname.

Any help appreciated

The first Robathan births, mother's maiden name Riches, seem to appear in 1913?

1911 has an Enid Riches of the right age - are you sure she married in 1902?

Hi,

A possible marriage:  Francis P Robathan in Mexico (1911-1915); the image gives the bride's surname as Riches.

GRO Consular Marriages

Looked for an Alice Riches marriage to match.....Alice EG Riches to Robathan in Mexico; also indexed under Enid Riches.

Thee's quite a few items on Welsh Newspapers online involving the Robathan family. there's an interetsing one from 1910 of a Cardiff v Barry cricket game, where a Robathan (not sure which one, a mumber seem to turn out for the club) opens Cardiff's batting alongside the captain N.V.H. Riches

think the 1911 Enid in Radyr is definitely yours, given who she is living with
